Our aims in this chapter are twofold. First, we place teamwork in the context of the evolutionary analysis of cooperation and altruism. This allows us to predict the evolutionary scenarios likely to have favoured the evolution of team work, the proba... Read More about Cooperation, risk and the evolution of teamwork.

Stochastic Interaction in Neural Systems (2005)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Wennekers, T., Ay, N., & Andras, P. (2005). Stochastic Interaction in Neural Systems. In 6th Neural Coding Workshop

Brains are information processing systems evolutionary adapted since millions of years. It seems plausible therefore that they follow information theoretic optimization principles. In the early visual system mutual information maximization (Infomax)... Read More about Stochastic Interaction in Neural Systems.

The origins of life - the ‘protein interaction world’ hypothesis: protein interactions were the first form of self-reproducing life and nucleic acids evolved later as memory molecules (2005)
Journal Article
Andras, P., & Andras, C. (2005). The origins of life - the ‘protein interaction world’ hypothesis: protein interactions were the first form of self-reproducing life and nucleic acids evolved later as memory molecules. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.mehy.20

The ‘protein interaction world’ (PIW) hypothesis of the origins of life assumes that life emerged as a self-reproducing and expanding system of protein interactions. In mainstream molecular biology, ‘replication’ refers to the material copying of mol...
